“’Red Alert’ for BJP is of inflation; of unemployment-unemployment; of the plight of the farmer-laborer; Hathras, Lakhimpur, women and youth oppression; Wasted education, business, and health, and ‘Lal Topi’ because it will throw BJP out of power this time,” Yadav mentioned in his tweet.

Yadav’s tweet referred to a comment by Modi where he said that ‘those wearing lal topi (red caps) cared only about lal batti (red beacons) when they were in power, in an apparent jibe at the Samajwadi Party (SP), the erstwhile ruling party of the state.’ Red-caps are common among the leaders of the Samajwadi Party and act as identification to their socialist ideology.
